** ADRESS_D.GIF here **

Address is the perfect way to keep track of family, friends and 
business contacts.
Address runs as as desktop accessory or as an application from the 
desktop. Use it dialogs in windows, sexy interface, comprehensive 
import/export options. The unregistered version is normally 
restricted to 40 addresses but the copy on the disk is registered 
to Atari Computing with no restrictions whatsoever!
The interface and import/export options are all detailed in one of 
the most comprehensive ST-Guide format hypertexts we've seen.
If you forget birthdays (I'm still waiting for my card!) check out 
the birthday alarm - then use the modem dialler to ring up them up 
and offer your congratulations!

Reader disk problems

In the unlikely event that a Reader disk won't load or gives you 
any other problems, disconnect all peripherals, switch off your 
computer for at least 20 seconds and try again. If this doesn't 
solve the problem, return the disk to Atari Computing clearly 
labelled "Faulty disk". Your disk will be tested and replaced or 
returned as quickly as possible.

** Use if space permits **
** Boxout 2 **
Make a back up!

To make it easy to back up your Reader disks a copy of 
ACBAKUP.TOS, specially programmed by Ofir Gal, is included. Simply 
run ACBAKUP.TOS and follow the on-screen instructions; the program 
even formats the disk for you. We recommend you always store your 
original disks in a safe place and don't use ACBAKUP.TOS for any 
other purpose.
